You and me both! AFter the AC seats in the Expedition MAX and now this I want to go test drive some new **** lol

I had one of those the last time we were in Maine. ****** was pretty nice but I did slam it from reverse to park more times than I care to admit. Stupid twist knob shifter. Also, the start stop was annoying. By the time I returned it, I had mastered turning that **** off as soon as I hit the key. Coming from 2019 Denali, to 2019 max, I think the seats were more comfortable and the ride was better. But, it was the max and mine is the short model. Could be the difference

Auto stop start is awful I hate it. I was very surprised how nice the interior was, idk if it was the top of the line or not but I thought they did great with material choice. The turn dial absolutely kills it tho, I already hate autos but any truck that doesn't have a column shifted auto is garbage in my eyes.

AC worked all the way to the gas station to fill all my cans because I mowed for 3 hours until I ran out this morning lol. Of course I get there and the cable which I have precariously ziptied together for the rear hatch handle breaks and I had to hoist 5 gallon cans in through the window. FIxed thaat as soon as I got home and realized I didn't do much sound absorption on the rear hatch, I'm gonna order some to try nd help with the exhuast noise a tad

One little ol' itty bitty sensor causing a fuss and exasperation. In the heat.

I'm still not 100% sure it's fixed but I will keep my toes crossed.

 

[Dantheman1540]

Nope, the lower sensor did not fix it completely. I had AC all day Monday and did a bunch of errands then finally heading home from my last errand I got on it a bit probably up to 5krpm and then the AC quit working again. I cycled the ignition a few times and still it wouldn't work but then I disconnected and reconnected the sensor on the drier and I think it was working this morning. So I'm gonna order the correct sensor this time and see if that works, I have a suspicious feeling it has something to do with the tune but not sure what it would be. I have the AC set to turn off at 4,500 but then reenable when it dips below 3,750. Maybe the sensor in the drier is getting a pressure spike and then sticking at that high pressure reading causing the compressor to not come on. Just spitballing there but until I get my correct new laptop battery in Friday I can't log data.

Also, the damn rear hatch ghetto rig I did broke again when I got out to the shooting range with 5 people's gear loaded in the back . Had to crawl over a mountain of **** and disassembly the door panel while it's closed which is a pain in the ****. So I'm done with the ghetto zip tie fixes on that and I'll try to find the OEM plastic clip that retains the lower handle cable.

Here's a pic of the little clip that retained the cable that broke. It's really hard to tell without pulling the entire panel if it's part of the door handle or not. I have the old black textured handle assembly at home so I will check on that and maybe I will get lucky and be able to use part of it to fix my paint-matched handle. I also ordered a whole bunch of sounds deadening matterial because while I'm in there I might as well.......

50sqft of kill matt
50sqft of 1* mass loaded vinyl
36sqft of closed-cell foam
132ft of seam sealer tape

All this I plan to put on the rear hatch, trunk floor, and wheel well areas to maybe help cut down a tad bit of exhaust noise still.

should quit things down a bit for sure.

should quit things down a bit for sure.

Thats what I'm thinking, especially since it has a turn down directly under the rear cargo area. I noticed it's much louder with the seats folded down (Which is my typical configuration) so the seats are blocking some of it now and it may benefit from more sound deadener.

Did those damn heads ever come in? @Dantheman1540

Negative ghost rider...... I had a buyer lined up and he couldn't wait any longer so I guess I'm keeping them again for now.
